Marks of a disciple of Jesus: Rooted in the Word

Marks of a disciple of Jesus: Rooted in the Word 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for [a]instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. You cannot separate a true disciple of Jesus Christ with the bible. They always walk together. The bible is Gods word to us in fact, it is so important that God says that heaven and earth will pass away but his word will never pass away. You cannot claim to be a disciple of Jesus Christ yet you have no connection and love for his word. It is through this word that our minds are renewed and our faith is activated and strengthened day by day. Through this word we are corrected and aligned to the will and purposes of God. It is through this same word that we gain understanding of who God is and the promises he has declared over our life. Without the word then a believer cannot walk in victory. The psalmist says; thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path, meaning that when we as disciples of Jesus walk in the word then we are always walking in the light knowing which direction to go.
